UPDATE...
I took a trip to Michigan this weekend.. On the way out there, I got 19.3
mpg. It was 220 some odd miles and I was doing consistent speeds of 65-70
hwy and 60-65 on the local roads.
On the way back, something must of happened... I passed a Fjord plant and my
truck must of been impressing them poor trucks in the lot... I got 22 mpg on
the way back! :-)
